Question

How is burning a piece of wood a chemical change, while boiling water is not? I don’t get it....well i do but i need a answer.:/

Answer 1

youre creating a new substance in a chemical reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

by boiling water, you arent making anything new. you're just changing the form of the water.

by burning wood, you're inducing a chemical reaction because some new substance is being made with the reactants

Answer 2

A burning piece of wood is a chemical change, because you alter it, and it turns to ashes, and it is irreversible, where as you can make water cold again
